Still not seeing any stories of a 40% error in "normal" use.

However, it turns out my brother was "estimating" how much fuel he put in his Xtrail. Doh. (He's not fuel economy focussed.) He did get the receipt though, so I can check it later today and do proper calcs. And ensure the right engine size was used in the SG.
